Tascosa High School
First Time Users
If you are new to the website, please read this page completely as it will answer most of your questions on how to get a password, make a profile and how to use the website.
This website is completely free to the members of the 1983 Tascosa High School class. You will never be forced to pay for ANYTHING.
Once you create your Profile, you will be able to see all Profiles of your fellow classmates and interact with them. By default only fellow classmates who have registered and created their own Profile will be able to view your Profile details.
All contact information that you enter into this website will be kept confidential. It will not be shared or distributed. Your contact information is private: your address and phone number can't be seen by other classmates unless you grant permission in your Profile setup. When someone clicks on your name, the only contact information they will see is your city and state and whatever information about yourself you choose to put on your Profile. Your email address is also not visible, although an email can be sent to you using the contact box at the bottom of your Profile page. Note, however, if you send a message to someone through their Profile page, the Classmate will see your email address so that they can respond. You can also contact Classmates directly by clicking on the Message Center link. You'll be able to send a private message to one or multiple Classmates.
If you have not already done so, you will need to create your individual Profile in order to access any password protected pages on this site. Start by clicking on the Classmate Profiles link. This will take you to a page with all Classmate names, including yours. Find your name and click on it. Click the link at the bottom of the page to join the site, and follow the prompts to create your Profile. The password that you enter during this process will be used as your login password. You can personalize your page with information such as what have you been up to since graduation in 1983, school memories, your family, and photos.
If you click "Remember Me" when you log in, you will not need to log in next time you go to the site. If you attempt to login and can't remember your password, click on: "Forgot Password?" and your password will be sent to your email inbox.
If you cannot find your name on the Classmate Profiles page, please Contact Us to have your name added.
If you change your email address, mail address, or phone number, please update those in your Profile so we have your correct information at all times.
Always check back with the Home Page, where main information and announcements are made.
Most of all, enjoy and have fun with the website!
How to upload pictures to your web page:
Caption: Caption is the description you write for your picture.
Browse: This is the most important one, for this is how you find the picture on your computer and get it to appear on your page.
Shortcut for multiple pictures: If you are uploading several pictures that are in different folders, you can copy them to your desktop, then delete them later. Make sure you COPY, not move, your pictures, so you won’t delete the original.
These are FAQs which answers all questions pertaining to this site as well as the reunion.
Questions:
Click on Missing Classmates or Classmate Profiles then click on YOUR NAME to set up a FREE member account. Provide your e-mail address, select a password (which you can change at any time), and tell us about your life since Tascosa High School. Add your married name, if applicable, photos, etc.
I forgot my login information and/or password. What should I do?
You login with the e-mail address you provided during your member account set up (include domain name, such as info@tascosa83.com). If you have several e-mail addresses and cannot remember which one you used or if you no longer have access to that e-mail address, click on “ Contact Us” and provide your new e-mail address. Your website administrator will make the change and then e-mail you a temporary password. Once you've logged in using your new e-mail address and temporary password, change your password by clicking the "Change Your Password" link under the Member Functions menu on the home page.
If you remember your e-mail address but you forgot your password, click on the "Forgot password?" link right above the green "Log On" button, and the website will automatically e-mail your password to you within a few minutes.
Who has access to my "Classmate Profile" and personal contact information?
You can choose whether your "Classmate Profile" is publicly viewable on the website (e.g., by other classes, friends, and the general public) or restricted to registered Tascosa High School 1983 Classmates only (it is restricted by default). If restricted, search engines and the general public will be blocked from accessing your Profile page. You can also choose whether or not your mailing address and phone number are displayed to other classmates; otherwise, only the City and State/Country where you live will be listed. Click on the "Edit Profile" link under the Member Functions menu in the side column, then scroll down to the bottom of the page to make your choice.
Can I be notified if other Classmates update their "Classmate Profile"?
YES! Click on "Classmate Profiles", then click on the name of the Classmate you'd like to keep track of. Once he/she has registered, his/her profile will be displayed. Scroll down to the bottom of his/her profile page, click on the box that says "Notify me whenever [Classmate's] profile is updated", and click on the "Notify Me" button. You will be notified by e-mail. You can also subscribe to multiple classmates by using the Notify Me link. Scroll down to the "Profile Subscriptions" section and you can subscribe to several classmates at once.
Does the public or other Classmates have access to my e-mail address?
No. To protect your privacy, e-mail address is stored only within the website so Classmates can send you a Message. You can decide who you want to provide your own e-mail address to. To check if you've received any new messages, click on the "Check Messages" under the Member Functions menu in the side column.
What are examples of the e-mails that I may be sent?
You will be e-mailed information about new website features; details about upcoming class reunions, fundraisers, or events; general announcements about classmates; and other important news.
Can I post my own photos or videos on the website?
Yes! You can upload a current photo of yourself, your family, pets, vacations, old photos from days gone by, past reunions, etc. -- anything you want to share -- by clicking on "Edit/Upload Photos" under the Member Functions menu on the left. There is no limit on the number of digital photos that you can store on your "Classmate Profile" page. Each photo is automatically resized to fit on your Profile page. You can also upload your own videos that you've posted to YouTube.com by clicking on the "Classmate Profiles" link, then following the instructions. And yes, you can add, delete, or replace your own photos or videos at any time.
How does the "Message Forum" work?
Click on "Message Forum" above and you can chat with our fellow classmates when they login and read the "Message Forum". Post a response to a prior message or start your own topic of conversation by asking a question, re-living an old memory, or share your thoughts on life.
Does Class Creator rent, sell, or in any way profit from having our Classmates' names, addresses, and personal information? How does it make its money?
No. Class Creator does not rent or sell any Classmate information or engage in any marketing or solicitation to Classmates. All personal contact information is held strictly confidential. Class Creator does not sell advertising on the website or display banner ads or pop-up windows. Our website is owned by our Reunion Committee--not by Class Creator.
What is the purpose of this website?
This site was originally created for the purpose of connecting with all the past students in order to have a reunion. However, since the site allows students to connect with one another thereby re-establishing old friendships, it has been decided that the site should serve a dual purpose. So not only is the site just for the reunion but for anyone in the year group who just wants to reconnect even if they are not going to the reunion.
Can I join the site even if I don't plan attend the reunion?
Yes. Even if you do not plan to attend the reunion, it is hoped that there are old friends on this site that you would like to reconnect to and for that purpose you can still join the site.
Can I volunteer to help with the reunion?
Yes. As time goes on, volunteers will become necessary to make sure that the reunion is a success. Just Contact Us.
